(a) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm water, surface water, ground water, roof runoff, subsurface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters to any sanitary sewer.
(b) No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged to any public sewer, any harmful waters or wastes, whether liquid, solid or gas, capable or causing obstructions to the flow in the sewers, damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage works, or other interference with the proper operation of the sewage works.
(c) Applications may be canceled and/or sewer service discontinued by the Municipality for any violation of any rule, regulation or condition of service, and especially for any of the following reasons:
(1) Misrepresentation in the application as to the property or fixtures to be serviced by the sanitary sewer system.
(2) Nonpayment of bills.
(3) Improper or imperfect service pipes and fixtures, or failure to keep same in suitable state of repair.
(d) The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having harmful or objectionable characteristics shall be subject to the review and approval of the Superintendent, who may prescribe limits on the strength and character of these waters or wastes. Where necessary, in the opinion of the Superintendent, the owner shall provide at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to treat these wastes prior to discharge to the public sewer. Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the Superintendent and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until said approval is obtained in writing. Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
(e) When required by the Superintendent, the owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install and maintain at his expense a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of water and wastes shall be determined in accordance with “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage” and shall be determined at the control manhole upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhold in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
(f) Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Inspector, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amount or any flammable wastes, sand, and other harmful ingredients except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. Where installed, they shall be maintained by the owner, at his expense, in continuously efficient operation at all times. (Ord. 354. Passed 10-1-78.)
